I'm not going to knock myself out on candidates right now. Haven't watched any of the debates, I don't have a primary vote for a while, and the way things are done nowadays, an enthusiastic scream, or a good fart during a debate, could change the entire picture almost at random. I suspect it's going to be all over but the shouting by the time I hit the primary polls.

I know a few things for sure:

--Any of the top Republicans would be better than any of the Democrats

--Hillary would probably be less of a disaster than either of her opponents

--The top tier media, with one or two exceptions, would cut off an arm to see a Democrat in the White House. Keep this in mind when you're listening to the economic news. Remember 1992?
